Hi all.
I'm new to the website, but I must admit, some of my most thrilling experiences have involved nudism, especially in large groups of friends.
As a younger person, I realize that many girls shave their pubic hair, and many men are joining the trend.
However, I thought it was interesting that so many "naturalists" shave themselves as well. If the point is being natural or the way we were in nature, and fully nude, then why shave?
Don't get me wrong I appreciate the beauty of a shaved body, but I think that hair has its place on the body too. And I would think that more naturalists would feel the same way...
I guess my real question is which one do y'all think is better? Shaved or unshaved? Any reasons why?

I have shaved from time to time, but if I had someone to shave me then that would be great as I do prefer the smooth look, and if only I could quickly shave my entire body in a few minutes then would do so regularly. When doing it oneself there are parts of your body where its hard to see what you are actually doing when shaving. Prefer to see women shaven and smooth, except for natural redheads, where a ginger bush is .exciting.

I have decided I needed to get myself to visit a nude beach, so I have just shaved my pubes, as the first step towards a completely shaven body. Also have just done some nude sunbathing in my backyard, so I will not be to pasty at the beach. Since then have shaved stomach and chest so now only have hairy arms below the elbow, and hairy legs.

Okay, Naturism is not based on sexuality..............but that doesn't mean that Naturists don't have a sex life. My previous partners preferred that I was clean shaven in that area and I did it out of respect for their wishes. Hate bringing anything sexually related to these message boards, as that is not why I am here.

But if you ask the question, I have to tell you my reason for doing this.

My thoughts would be we all accept people having their hair cut, facial hair shaved so why would anyone consider it not a natural choice for others to do as they feel with the rest of their body hair?
If a naturalist is one who allows hair just to grow, would there would be many long haired, long bearded naturalists.
Do as you feel, I feel comfortable smooth so that is my choice.

If you are a naturalist, maybe more natural is unshaved. If you are nudist, maybe you feel more naked shaved and with genitals well exposed

Maybe that is a good differentiation between a nudist and a naturist. A naturist has all the hair left in place and a nudist may have at least some removed or shaved. I know I feel more naked being hairless all over.
